FEEDING DIRECTION:

Mature Guinea Pigs (over 6 months):

Feed 1/8 cup pellets daily in addition to unlimited grass hay. Although Essentials – Adult Guinea Pig Food is an excellent complete feed for guinea pigs, unlimited access to fresh grass hay should also be provided. Choose from Oxbow’s Western Timothy, Orchard, Oat or Botanical grass hays to provide additional natural fiber. Cavy Cuisine – Adult Guinea Pig Food is not intended for growing, gestating or lactating animals. Feed Cavy Performance – Young Guinea Pig to guinea pigs requiring a higher level of nutrition.

Feed in addition to unlimited grass hay.
